and Lectures On timely Topics; Much Interest In
Tractor Demonstration; Splendid Address By Hon.
Tasker Polk On Opportunity of Farm Life.
Many Warren county farmers and
their wives were -in attendance upon
the Board of Agriculture's picnic here
yesterday and great was the benefit
derived from this day of practical
schooling. Experts in many lines of
! endeavor gave their knowledge and
experience. The dfay was one round
of activity a meeting here for the
( ladies, a meeting there for the men
and over all the general atmosphere
of the unusual for Warrenton, but an
atmosphere delightful and thoroughly
pleasing to all.
j As the opening feature, the tractor
j demonstration in a field back of Prof.
'John Graham's was well attended.
Farmers were interested in the differ
ent makes exhibited and the tractors
pulling two 11-inch plows, cutting a
24-inch furrow, in a heavy redish clay
were at a disadvantage for making
the flashy showing which might have
been expected the showing was high
ly creditable, however The J. I.
Case Co. was represented by Special
Agent R. U. Fox, of Nashville,, and
the demonstration conducted by Deal
er T. H. Aycock, of Elberon; C D.
Diggs, of Richmond, was in charge of
the Fordson tractor for the Norlina

academy inspecting the locks, of the
- -
of Winston Salem, R. E. Crutchfield,
of Washington, and S. R. Cransford,
of Greensboro. The demonstration,
the first on a competitive basis in this
county gave excellent opportunity for
practical study of the value of modexu
farming methods and farmers were
interested in the showing made.
. After the demonstration the crowd
came to the Court Square where Mr.
Earle Britnall, of the Animal Indus
try Department.," Dairy Division,
made an object talk on "How to Se
lect A Family Cow." Mr. Britnall
was master of his subject and his rev
elation of the outstanding character
istic of a good milk and butter pro
ducer, the cow's only proper function,
was interested! and had a practical
value for the farmers present.
During Mr. Britnall's talk, Mrs.
Henley, district home demonstration
agent conducted a cottage cheese
demonstration in the Court room be
fore the ladies of the countv and fol
lowed this demonstration with an ap
peal for a close cooperation in the
community and county fairs and urg
ed the necesssity of competent judges
before any awards were made. Mrs.
Henley is a pleasing speaker and! the
message she impressed could, not help
but be of great value to the house
wives of' the county.
Throut the dav the value, of the
Lalley Light system was demonstrat
ed by special agent Deal and Mr. W.
R. Strickland, local dealer. This com
pact system-received the plaudits-of
many witnesses. ,
After the basket picnic dinner Hon.
Tasker Polk delivered an excellent
address. Mr. Polk's theme was vi
brant with the opportunity of farm
life and of the lucrative value of bet
ter farming. Neither law nor med
icine could offer any comparative re
turns if the selsafe devotion and stuc?y
was applied to farming as was nec
essary for success in these lines of en
deavor, he stressed. The talk, deliv
ered in the court house, was much en
joyed and fitted admirably with tne
general trend of the day's activities.
Mr. H. B. Mask, representing dis
trict agent McLean, made earnest ap
peal for the co-operation of all agen
cies in a community in building that
community into permanent progres-
siveness. This co-operation, he de
clared, to be absolutely essential to
the proper functioning of the various
agencies directing the public welfare.
He plead for community meeting and
for discussion at these meetings of
the matters relatives to farming, and
the opportunity for all to gain the
benefit of the knowledge of the indi
vidual. Mr. Mask -played hard upon
the beacon lights of success and no
one could hear him without realizing

served with known distinction as the
head of the Charlotte High School,
was appointed this week to the Sup-
erintendency of the State High school
of this city. Mr. Davis is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Davis.
A telegram from this paper to Mr.
Davis brings the answer that he will
accept the position. Other ' teachers
for the year as announced! by the
school Board are Misses Sue Broom,
Mary Chauncey, Mariam Boyd, Sallie
Allen, Alice Rooker, Louise Dowtin,
and Philena Macon. This corps of
teachers, general opinion is, will give
to the State High school an opportun
ity for large service and guarantee
efficient schooling for the children of
this district.
Plans are being discussed for a
consolidation of the fifth, sixth and
seven grades into a Junior 'High
School and the latest methods of ed
ucational training will direct the en
ergies and known ability of the teach
ing corps in every department of

Additional Room Being -Added
To Colored School Here
An 'additional room is being added
to the colored special tax school of
the district to provide for the increas

At a recent mass meeting held by
the colored people of the town Dr. T.
T. Haywood was appointed chairman
of a committee to make plans and cir
culate a petition for a colored State
aided high school-in or near Warren
ton. A requisite for such school is a
five-acre site. Numerous funds, pro
curable thru the State Board of Edu
cation, will provide the greater
amount of the funds needed and the
work can be accomplished with little
cost to the county if the colored peo
ple of this district will take advan
tage of this opportunity.
Interest is general in the move
ment and definite action can be ex
pected authorities in school matters
disclose.
